They eat them live?

I'll take that moderation, as the comment was stupidly incorrect. I'll also take the interesting discussion it seems to have sparked.

I'm not sure how this is a troll, but okay, whatever. Not like I don't have karma to burn. :)

Likely. I also forgot there was a surplus of PPC chips (making them really cheap) around the time the 360 came out.

Huh... not sure why I thought it was, thanks for the correction.

Both are x86 hardware. Effectively, they're custom-built PCs running a custom OS. Port the old OS and write graphics and audio drivers for the new hardware on the new OS and you're good to go.

Indeed, had they stated this at release time I'd have bought one at release time. Instead, I made plans to eventually purchase a PS4 and pre-ordered several collectors edition games (a few of which I've already gotten) for my eventual PS4, so now I'm committed to that purchase. The plan is to put the PS4 downstairs and let my wife move the PS3 to her office; were I getting an XBox One, she could have moved both current consoles to her office. So now, since Microsoft had to be dicks about this, we all lose; they lose sales, I lost the ability to play all of my games on one system, and my wife loses one of the consoles that could have ended up in her office.

Sorry for the late reply, Slashdot stopped notifying me about this thread.

I spent just as long looking for examples of Android malware as I did looking for examples of iOS malware. I admitted, early on, that neither was exhaustive. If you want exhaustive, I'll give it to you, but you won't like the results. Shoot me an email so I can get the entirety of my research and findings to you in a month or two when I'm done. Meanwhile, realize that you're the one with the blind spot; if you don't like my research, do your own and prove mine wrong, don't just point fingers and say "your methodology is flawed", sure it's flawed, I admitted as much at the start, but you still fail to disprove my findings.

As for your insinuation that I feel I can do no wrong... Really? Review my post history, I admit I'm wrong on here whenever someone actually shows me that I am, which happens, roughly, 5 or 6 times a year. If that number seems a bit low it's because I generally don't open my mouth unless I'm fairly certain I know what the hell I'm talking about. You should try it sometime.

Yes, when we were setting up base camps on their soil while attacking/invading them during WWII. A base camp and a permanent base are two completely different things and any permanent bases we have on their soil today were built with their permission and blessing.

This is what happens when marketing leads engineering: too much sizzle.

Right after you get done fucking yourself.

Lack of phones for the unemployed is not the problem I want to solve. The need for the government wellfare programs we both agree ned to be heavily cut back is.

And you change that by changing the math. If all they can find is part-time minimum wage work, you make that livable (note that I didn't say comfortable, that was your addition to the discussion). How do you make part-time minimumwage work livable? Increase the minimum wage. Then, we'll be in a position to require a job and one or more dependent children in order to qualify for any wellfare programs; tie that qualification to the job so that losing the job means losing the wellfare benefits. The only exception to both the "must have a job" and "must have dependent children" restrictions would be a disability that legitimately prevents one from working; not just one that makes finding work difficult, but one that bars you from working at all. I can't think of any, off the top of my head, that don't also typically include living in a hospital or care facility, so that should cut down on the "something for nohing" problem.

Minimum wage isn't a government program, it's a law put in place because businesses have shown repeatedly, throughout the history of civilization, that they will have slaves where they're not forced to have employees. Minimum wage has also failed to keep up with inflation for at least the past 50 years, so a massive increase is due in order to correct that.

It used to be trivial to find $15/hr full-time work in a factory and support a family of 3 on a single income, but we've sent all of that work overseas and replaced it with $7.25/hr 16hr/wk shitjobs a single person can't even afford to support themselves on. Do you not agree that this needs to be corrected? We'll, we're not going to convince companies to re-open their factories on American soil (and even if they did, the unions are gone so they'd get away with only offering $7.25/hr 16hr/wk work and nothing would be solved), which leaves increasing the minimum wage as the sole solution if you want to cut back on government wellfare without increasing the prison popularion, which costs considerably more than the wellfare programs you want to cut in the first place.

Otherwise, it seems we're in agreement regarding wellfare programs. Cut the hell out of them.

Huh, then i've never actually heard anyone use it correctly. Thank you for the correction and go fuck yourself.

First of all, cucklod is a verb, the noun form is cuck. Second, I'm through being civil with you, go fuck yourself.
